Anybody read or know about this? I don't know the time frame for starting or completion, but it's 1.5 hours from my house!

And home sites are only 7-9.... MILLION.

They've neglected to include an interplantary spaceport and a Waffle House. Slum. I had a really good giggle reading about the 'Zen Spa'.

"The entire 3,000 acres is protected by a 9-foot fence, controlled gated access and an attentive, professional security staff on site 24/7/365 to insure your security and privacy". Ha. Not just an eight foot fence...an NINE foot fence. Sounds like Nigel in 'This is Spinal Tap'. Who the hell are they trying to keep out ?

Has Phil been reduced to renting his name out for crap like this ?

Any takers on a bet ? First resident is named 'Clampett'...

Doesn't appear as if Roebling Road will have anything to worry about. This is one of those "Driving Clubs" that are popping up all over. My take is that mere mortals such as myself will be excluded from getting past the "controlled gate access."

Who has the right of way when a plane wants to land and your on a hot lap?

TD in DC

Even if it does come true, is anyone here willing to wager how long it would take one of the owners of the 120 houses built within the complex to sue to get the track shut down because they were "misled" about how loud or how early/late the noise from the track will be?

I am betting 3 years . . .

I was thinking the same thing

I always wonder how safety is handled at these kinds of venues. Is there an on call corner worker crew or are you driving "at your own risk"?

I think they have tv camera and lights. Oh.. and some guy named bubba in control room surfing the net.

The real Clubs, noclue about this one, do have full time staffs for corner workers, fire/rescue, etc. If the Alpine ever happens in PA, one of the plus points that was embraced by the community was the upgrade in emergency services that would be funded for them, including chopper medivac to Lehigh Med Center.

I just got "pitched" on one of these super-upscale deals that is being planned down here. $125,000 up front to be a Founder Member, or $35,000 to be a Standard Member + #250 per month. Funds to be held in escrow until they eventually break ground.

Me, I think I'll just remain a Very Large Member, and keep my money earning ME interest instead of some blue-sky developer...

Horses love the sound of a car backfiring. It keeps them calm. Golfers at the tee miss the sound of a V12 during their backswing. Drivers appreciate the lack of gravel traps and tire walls when they have a shunt. Just can't wait to see how far the car goes in the grass.

LOL. I was thinking the same things you guys ask.

And the elevation change of 12' is going to be incredible...

FWIW, I just received the December issue of R&T, and on page 34 there is a short piece and drawing titled "The Phil Hill Motorsports Complex", with a quote from Phil regarding this course. The article points out that the front straight will be 5400-ft long, doubling as an FAA approved runway. Will Tower clearance be given for the entire run session, or must it be requested on each lap????

The article further says that the 120 home sites will range from $750,000 to $2,000,000 per lot. Another quote..."construction has already begun, and the track should be operational by summer 2007".

Steve,

Do you have to be a homeowner/member only to use the facilities or will the track be rented out to clubs like the PCA, etc. such as VIR is? I did not see this on the website.

Regards,
Jim
